Upcycle a salvaged fence to make DIY under deck storage. This outdoor project was a great way to add some needed storage and organization to our wood deck. With high lumber prices this was a perfect time to use reclaimed wood and it came together nicely. You just install lattice on a deck, but this modern DIY deck skirting looks way better IMHO.

Great outcome! personally I would have sold the timber from your neighbours fence, and with that money buy a brand new house instead!

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

no doubt!

Ottimo risultato invece, con legno di recupero hai fatto un bel lavoro estetico e funzionale!!! 👍😉

Your implementation of ad in the video is currently the best implementation of sponsors i have watched... I didnt have to fast forward till the sponsor section because the action is still ongoing behind the clip

[@inspiringbuilds]

An air punch nailer is a game changer! I try to repurpose as much lumber as possible for my builds too. Nice transformation and way better than the lattice look, keep up the great work as the goal is to inspire others to build something awesome!👍🏼

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Yeah, that air puncher is a beast

[@ifiwooddesigns]

After finding several hidden nails and staples damaging my tools, I’ve learned to buy a $20 metal detector through Amazon and it’s been a game changer.

[@paranihiaanaru4414]

That's the one!

Great project for some salvaged material. Turned out really nice and gotta love that nail puncher

[@raynoladominguez4730]

From one recovering engineer to another; that looks great.

[@strasserfamily]

Looks outstanding! We’re still using the wood planks from our neighbor’s fencing. My husband thought I was crazy, but now with the cost of wood, he’s once again bowing to the queen of (s)crap.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

😂 😂 Love that!

[@Rouverius]

Apparently the earlier version of the Air Locker was junior-high school me with a trash pick hammer and nail punch. Seriously not my most fun summer, but I'll admit it: did learn how to throw a hammer. Thanks, Dad.

not to take anything away from the guy but the way DIY"ers complicate themselves amazes me.

[@jewdd1989]

Looks phenomenal and I appreciate reusing perfectly good lumber 👍🏼and I love that you can use the under deck as storage with the gates

[@derekrobertson1548]

If you use a lot of reclaimed timber I think you would find a pinpointer a great help. It will locate all those hidden nails left in the wood. I use one on all my wood before running it through my joiner thicknesser.

[@JeffreyMoon1974]

I'm a big of upcycling used lumber for projects like these. I helped a friend tear down his deck years ago and I STILL have lumber to use from that. At today's prices, it can't be beat and the wood is still good!

[@OpusX2010X]

Might consider adding some screen to the inside to keep down the bees and wasps. Great work!

[@annie-centrepiecefurniture]

Re-use Re-cycle makes my heart sing!! Fantastic video Brad ! Pistol grip on the hand saw makes for more accurate cut, I only just learned that !

[@michaelmeihaus9892]

This was a fantastic, realistic, and practical way to recycle this material with an excellent result. Thanks for the great video!

[@penprp]

Your title made me wonder if you'd been watching Drew Fisher! This was fun to watch, as always, and the final product is lovely!

[@Unlovable]

That looks great! way better than lattice. If you start focusing on reclaimed wood you'll find that there is so much wood being thrown out everywhere. As a 'wood hoarder' myself the higher prices don't help, when I walk past a skip with nice wood in it I have to take it.

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Yes, lots of wood to be had out there!

[@jamesmacintyre1415]

Well done. Great inspiration. I did the same thing. 3 years ago someone was taking down their deck. I look cjed itvup for $450. And ended up with a 10 x 20 deck with composite top. Alot of work to pull all nails screws and clips but we'll worth the effort

[@Fixthisbuildthat]

Nice!

[@StArFuRyZz]

Years back we re-did all the baseboard in the house and the 18ga brad nailer was a life saver. After hammering in nails to the first board I went and bought the thing. I also had a project that needed staples and got an air powered staple gun because the hand held one was a pain. Falls into the "best purchase ever" category.

[@SawdustmakerLori]

What an awesome transformation!!! It was labor intensive but had to be so gratifying to give new life to that old fence and keep it out of the landfill. Also saved a lot of money. The end product looks fantastic!

[@jellen7332]

yes, I would of still been working on that... seriously!!

[@NB-Philly]

We move into our new home June 30th, and the deck there needs major work. I’ll be using many of the skills and tricks on that. Btw - if you have an opportunity to do a segment on removing paint from a deck, please do one. This deck is painted and looks horrible. Great content as usual!

[@AkSonya1010]

Great project and incredible job on recycling the wood. I have several times used recycled cedar fence boards on projects. I did a beautiful project around a big island that turned out beautiful recently. The nail holes just added character on my project.

[@befmx31]

[@georgestgeorge5110]

If you set your air too high, the death puncher will send everyone in the neighborhood running for cover. Nails bounce like crazy. Trust me on this. ;)

Oh yeah, had one bounce off the bottom of the trash can and hit my safety glasses. Gotta be geared up when using it!

[@willrogers1023]

You did a great job! I did a similar job to my friends back porch/deck in TN. I hate hand saws but I found most american hand saws work /cut on the push stroke. When you apply a pushing force the blade wants to bend on an america style saw so your cuts are wider and not straight! I bought a Kakuri Japanese pull saw! It cuts on the pull stoke! The blade is in tension and keeps a straight thin cut.
